thx dane. Who is Executive-in-Chief of Kickin’ Ass?

You forgot General Secretary of Takin' Names

Also, I'm the only one that has OVER 9000!!!1
Because I was the first out of anyone, including mods, to hit 9001 contributions.

So can anyone get OVER 9000!!!1 rank, or only the person that reached 9000 contributions first, or the person with the most contributions?

One thing that needs to be explained is how one rises in rank. Is it based on Karma, contributions, what?

It's based on number of contributions, which is sort of misleading, as people who only post in the JFF section of the forum can get the 'researcher' title without actually helping with any research.

Karma is just a useless counter that people sometimes whore for. Not as much lately, so that's nice.

To my knowledge, only the first person to have reached that can have the rank, but we haven't had anyone reach that since then, so I haven't seen confirmation one way or the other.

I wish there were titles that one could actually brag having without being a mod or staff. Like the following (in order of difficulty):

Titles:
Sr. Researcher,
Honorary Researcher
Researcher Emeritus
Order of the KYM


Maybe badges or medals like

Meme Smart Alec
Meme Addict
Forum Lurker
Forum Molester
Forum Master
Image Flooder


Based on Karma (also in order of karma):

Acolyte
Preacher
Prophet
Pop Star
Messiah
Illuminated
Brigade Leader

Or, there should be a feature that allows us to customize a title, right under "Researcher".

Pop Star Forum Molester reporting for duty. lol!

I think there shouled be two seperate ranks, one for Meme Research and the other for Forum Usage.

However, the title that is displayed depends on which one has a higher count.
